As the main part of a modest photo-journalism/history project,
we have gathered, scanned, and classified some photographs that
belonged to Gene Golub. They span about 20 years of Gene's life
and travels with the NA community.

I am looking for a photograph of John Todd from the 1940s or 50s.
He was one of the founders of the fabled Institute for Numerical
Analysis at UCLA. John Todd and his wife Olga Taussky later were
faculty members at Cal Tech.

It contains problems from models of real-life applications as
well as problems constructed specifically to have particular
properties. The collection is fully documented in the technical
report available at http://eprints.ma.man.ac.uk/1542

This release contains 46 problems (up from 26 in version 1.0) and
new functionality.

The collection is intended to grow and contributions are welcome;
see the report for details of how to contribute.

The purpose of this book is to present the theoretical and
practical aspects of mesh adaptivity and applications for
time-dependent PDEs.

A comprehensive treatment of moving mesh methods and their basic
components, along with their application for various physical
problems, is given. The basic principles for multidimensional
mesh adaptation and their relation to the fundamental
equidistribution and alignment conditions are presented, as well
strategies for choosing the monitor function to optimize error
estimates using isotropic and anisotropic meshes.

The principles provide a unified framework for describing and
comparing the various variational and velocity-based mesh
adaptation strategies.

While emphasis is put upon on moving mesh methods, the book, with
extensive treatment of the theoretical aspects of mesh
adaptivity, can be useful to researchers who are interested in
other important types of adaptive mesh methods such as the h- and
p-adaptive methods.

Description: This two day conference be organized to mark the
65th birthday and the subsequent retirement of Professor Rolf
Jeltsch and we envisage it as an occasion to honor the numerous
contributions of Professor Jeltsch to numerical analysis.

The Summer Course will be given by Katya Scheinberg (Lehigh
University) and Nati Srebro (Toyota Technological Institute at
Chicago) and will introduce a range of machine learning models
and optimization tools that are used to apply these models in
practice. For the students with some Machine Learning background
the course will introduce what lies behind the optimization tools
often used as a black box as well as an understanding of the
trade-offs of numerical accuracy and theoretical and empirical
complexity. For the students with some Optimization background
this course will introduce a variety of applications arising in
Machine Learning and Statistics as well as novel optimization
methods targeting these applications. Plenary speakers already
confirmed for the workshop include Kristin P. Bennett, Inderjit
S. Dhillon, and Lieven Vandenberghe.

One will be able to reimburse the travel and lodging expenses of
a number of students (Portuguese or US citizens and permanent
residents).

The deadline for the course registration is March 31, 2011. For
course and workshop registration please send email to

The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences
Institute (SAMSI) and the Sandia National Laboratories will offer
a Summer School on Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) in
Albuquerque, NM, on June 20-24, 2011. This event will precede the
year long SAMSI UQ program:
http://www.samsi.info/programs/2011-12-program-uncertainty-quantification

Participants will receive not only an overview of the fast
developing field of UQ but also specific skills related to data
assimilation, sensitivity analysis and the statistical analysis
of rare events. Theoretical concepts and methods will be
illustrated on concrete examples and applications from both
nuclear engineering and climate modeling.

The European Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications
(ENUMATH) conferences are a forum for discussion of basic aspects
and new trends in numerical mathematics and challenging
scientific and industrial applications on the highest level of
international expertise.

dedicated to Claude Brezinski and Sebastiano Seatzu on the
occasion of their 70th birthday, and, at the same time, the 20th
anniversary of the Springer journal Numerical Algorithms.

October 10-14, 2011.

The themes of the conference will cover all aspects of numerical
analysis and applied mathematics. Special sessions will be
devoted to selected topics.

The web site of the Conference is

The Conference will be held at Hotel Flamingo
(http://www.hotelflamingosardinia.com/), a tourist resort located
in S. Margherita di Pula, Sardinia, Italy. An agreement has been
reached with the Hotel to obtain special reduced prices for
full board accommodation.

We are asking people interested in attending the Conference and
receiving more information, to fill out the preregistration form

Michela Redivo-Zaglia and Giuseppe Rodriguez
On behalf of the Organizing Committee,

We invite the contribution of articles that present mathematical
and computational developments in the area of fluid-structure
interactions from a broad spectrum of technical domains.
Additionally, we are interested in analytic approaches as well as
numerical approaches that employ both fully coupled methods that
produce optimal rates of convergence and weakly coupled methods
where different approximation techniques are used in each
sub-domain and high levels of computational efficiency are
observed. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

We are soliciting applicants to work on the above topic at the
Cascades Volcano Observatory (CVO) in Vancouver, WA (near
Portland and Mount St. Helens). This would involve mathematical
modeling and the development of robust adaptive mesh refinement
strategies for complex geophysical flows, in the context of the
GeoClaw software (http://www.clawpack.org/geoclaw).

A post-doctoral research position on Numerical Methods for
Structured Low-rank Approximation is available from January 2011
in the Information: Signals, Images, Systems (ISIS) research
group of the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS).
The position is funded by an ERC starting grant and is offered
initially for three years, with an extension of two more years.

We are looking for applicants with strong background in linear
algebra and optimization, having ample experience in numerical
software development. Knowledge in system theory,
identification, signal processing, machine leaning, and computer
algebra is an asset.

Informal enquiries regarding the position and applications should
be submitted to Ivan Markovsky (im@ecs.soton.ac.uk). The required
application documents are:
- CV,
- summary of PhD thesis (1 page),
- statement of current research (1 page), and
- names and addresses of two references.

School of Mathematics, The University of Manchester
Research Associate, Ref: EPS/11247
Closing date: December 16, 2010.

Applications are invited for a research associate post on the
EPSRC-funded project "Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems: Theory and
Numerics". The project involves the development of numerical
methods for polynomial eigenvalue problems.

Applicants should have completed or be in the process of
completing a PhD or equivalent qualification in Mathematics,
and have experience of research in matrix analysis or in numerical
linear algebra.

The post is available for thirty months from 1 February 2011.
